| It should be obvious by now It should be obvious by now that society isn't going to continue to allow Piracy. Any efforts to imprison and fine Pirates is a good thing. The more of these criminals we get off the streets the better. They are the scum of society and belong in prison and that's exactly where they are headed. |

 | Hi Taylor Troll. Haven't seen you in awhile. Why not just register so we can have a good clean conversation ? -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt......and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!" |

 Rogue WolfAte Your Homework, And Framed The Dog join:2003-08-12 Troy, NY | We can't call him Taylor Troll anymore. I demoted him to Taylor Parrot after his little rant saying that anyone whose computers were compromised by the Sony rootkit fiasco were thieves and deserved what happened. Never mind that the rootkit only caused problems for people who'd bought the discs. 
When he quits parroting the "militant anti-'pirate'" line and starts trying to hold actual debates, I might consider reinstating him to his former position. Honestly, I'm not holding my breath.  -- I have learned to ignore such naysayers, when... quelling... them... hm?... was out of the question. |

Sometimes anonymous posters have something useful to say, other times they are just trolling, like this example is.

Back on ignore you go...

It's about a million to one pro-pirate vs anti-pirate on the 'Net (which really speaks volumes of young people's morals these days,) so a speck of balance is a good thing. |

I'm sorry, did you read my post? Where I recounted how he said people affected by the Sony rootkit problem "deserved it" even though they were buying the product instead of pirating? I don't see where the Taylor Parrot introduces any sort of "balance" to ANY discussion.
While there may not be as many people on "his side" of the argument here, that leaves no reason to accept childish tripe as debate. I've got no problem with people who want to protect intellectual property, but I won't hesitate to call out simple trollish parroting where I see it. You've got the right to do the same. Neither "side" benefits when simplistic jingoism mars the discussion. -- I have learned to ignore such naysayers, when... quelling... them... hm?... was out of the question. |
